Resetting the unit will return it to factory settings (IP address, SSID, wireless security only). The firmware will not be affected - it will retain whatever firmware it have.

If you want to access the settings of the unit - connect a PC to it. By default the WAP54G is on static IP (192.168.1.245), but it does not have a DHCP server. You will have to set your PC to static IP (use an IP that's on the same range with the device - say 192.168.1.10). Try to ping it - if you get replies you may be able to access it's web interface. Open an internet browser - type htpp://192.168.1.245 and hopefully you will have access to it's settings ( username: (blank); password: admin)

I hope that helps.

Good luck and have a nice day!

The Linksys G router gives you both wired and wireless connections over a broadband Internet connect to create a local area network. The Linksys router is compatible with wireless G and B devices, through the 2.4-GHz wireless band. The wireless speed is at 54 megabytes per second and you can get 100 megabytes per second with a wired connection. You have to set up the wireless configuration on the Linksys before using it on your network.

Plug the router's power cable into an electrical outlet. Attach an Ethernet cable into the Internet port on the back of the router. Connect the other end into your broadband modem. Connect your computer to the Linksys G using another Ethernet cable. This Ethernet cable can go into any of the wired router ports. Open your Internet browser. Type "192.168.1.1" in the address bar and hit "Enter." This is your router's IP address and the home of its Web configuration page. Click "Wireless." Click "Manual." Alter your SSID, also known as your network name. You can change this name to any value that you want. You can also change the wireless channel if you are in an area with many wireless connections that may interfere. Click "Save Changes." Click "Wireless Security." Choose an encryption method to encrypt your wireless transmissions. WPA or WPA2 are common security protocols you can use in wireless networks. Input a network key, also known as the network password. Click "Save Changes."

Make sure the Modem is plugged into the correct port on the E1000 (far left port labelled 'internet' on a yellow background). Unplug all the devices power cables and restart them in order from the wall (modem - router - PC/MAC) make sure the modem has link and activity lights flashing, if there is a light for 'internet' wait for it to be on before plugging in the router. You might want to call your ISP and confirm theres nothing funky with the line/modem.

You cannot use a Wireless Access Point (WAP) to connect directly to your IPS's modem. A WAP does not provide the ability to share a single IP address on the internet like a router does.

Either return the WAP for a refund and buy a wireless router or buy an Ethernet wired-only router and plug the WAP into the LAN side of that router. You would then plug the WAN side of the Ethernet wired router into your modem.

1)If internet light not on then login to router and check the summary!!!and try to diagnose the test which is there in router!! and check for ppp is it active or down? Might be authentication credential is not correct that could be the reason?

here are times when there is a need to connect a wired computer to an
access point in order to set it up. To connect a wired PC to a Linksys
access point, follow the steps below.
Step 1:Connect the PC to the Ethernet port located at the back of the access point.

Step 2:Assign a static IP address on the computer. For instructions, click here. NOTE: To assign a static IP address using Mac, click here.
The Access Point can be configured in four different modes:

Access Point

Access Point Client

Wireless Repeater

Wireless Bridge

The Access Point mode allows wireless clients to
connect to the access point and routes traffic between the wireless and
wired interface. Use this mode to create a standard wireless
Infrastructure network. For instructions, click here.
The Access Point Client mode allows this device to
act as a wireless client. You can connect a wired PC to the access point
to connect to a wireless router or another access point wirelessly. You
can enter the MAC address of the Access Point or use the Site Survey button to select the Access Point you want to connect. NOTE: The WAP54G will only communicate with another WAP54G when set to the Access Point Client. For instructions, click here.

wireless light will be ON only if you have connected any wireless devices to your network...
security light will be ON only if you enabled password to connect to your wireless network....
if you have changed any settings in the router recently,
then delete the saved list of networks in the computer....
then search for wireless networks in range and connect to your network....

Power up the modem and wait for the appropriate lights (power, ethernet, and activity – something along these lines)

Connect
the modem and router with an ethernet cable (if there is a WAN port on
the router make sure to put the cable in this port).

Connect
Port 1 on the router to the network card on the computer using an
ethernet cable and check to see there is a light at the correct port.

Open
a web browser, such as Internet Explorer or Firefox. Input your routers
id (usually an IP address or an URL) in the browsers address bar and
press Enter. The address bar is where you would normally see, for
example, http://www.google.ca If you don't know the IP address (such
as 192.168.1.1) or the URL, try going to the manufacturers web site and
downloading a manual.

Now,
a window will open asking for a user name and password (these are given
to you in the instructions of the router). For example, Dlink sets up
some of their routers as, username: admin and leave the password field
blank then press OK.

Now
you are in the configuration page of your router (wireless most
probably). Here you can set the encryption, new passwords etc… If your
not comfortable doing these on your own most routers have a wizard that
you can follow.

If
everything goes alright and the settings are successful you can now try
the wireless connection. Go to a machine with a wireless card, right

At
the computer with the wireless connection, make sure the connection is
on You might be trying to connect to the network by using either the
application that came with the router or windows wireless
configuration. Right click the icon in the system tray and “view
available networks”. If it comes up in a window saying “Windows is not
setup for wireless networks” then you must right click on the correct
icon in the tray.

Now,
in the list of available networks, click on the name of your network
Click on "connect" and it should ask for your security id (the
encryption code). Put in the code (usually twice) and click connect or
OK. It should now be "acquiring anip address" and in a few minutes it should be connected.

Turn the router off, and unplug the AC power.
Turn the router on, and wait until the lamps show that it's fully ready.

Be sure that you have _not_ disabled your laptop's wireless networking.
On your laptop, click to "view available networks".
Does the router's "SSID" show up in the output?

Connect an Ethernet cable between the Ethernet-port on the router and the Ethernet-adapter on your laptop.

Click Start
Click Run
Type 'cmd' and press ENTER.
In the "black" window, enter 'IPCONFIG'.
Find the line showing the IP-address of the "Gateway", probably something like '192.168.xxx.yyy'.
Start your web-browser, and enter: http://192.168.xxx.yyy
to connect to the router's web-interface.
Click to run the "Wireless Network Setup Wizard".
The router should restart.
Disconnect the Ethernet cable.
Repeat the "Show available wireless networks".

Or, try some other wireless-ready laptop or wireless-ready iPod Touch, to see if these devices can "see" your router's SSID.

This is a common problem with the Linksys wireless router. You will need to reset your ISP device, meaning the ADSL router, or Cable modem, reset the Linksys device, and reboot your computer in that order.

Next you "should" release the IP address of your computer once it reboots to Windows (assumed). To do this you click on RUN, type in CMD to get a DOS window. From that window type in "ipconfig /release" without the quotes. Then close the window. Reboot the comptuer again.

You will NEXT need to determine which device is acting as the DHCP server, the ISP device or the Linksys device. To do this you will need to open up the CMD window again but type in "ipconfig /all" without the quotes. If your ISP device is listed first, then it is likely the server for all available IP adress on your local network. This means that the Linksys has been assigned a new IP address. The Linksys must be the DHCP server in this case so that it may be accessed through 192.168.1.1 from your browser address.

To make the Linksys the DHCP server, you must connect your ISP device to the Ethernet uplink port on the back of the Linksys router. The Linksys router may then be connected to a Ethernet hub or act as your hub if you have no other.
